WHY BETSY DEVOS IS WITHHOLDING MILLIONS FROM CONNECTICUT SCHOOLS
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says she’ll withhold millions of federal dollars from Connecticut schools that won’t withdraw from an athletic conference that allows transgender students to enter competitions based on their chosen gender.
Students and parents have argued some transgender students, particularly boys who identify as girls, have dominated sports like track and field, limiting playing time and opportunities for college scholarships.
The move by the Education Department would withhold about $18 million intended to help schools desegregate, according to The New York Times.
The department’s Office for Civil Rights has warned officials at three Connecticut school districts several times that it will not release the grant money as planned on Oct. 1, unless they withdraw from the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference over its transgender policies. . . .
The $18 million, which represents the remainder from five-year grants worth roughly $45 million, is earmarked for districts in New Haven, Hartford, and southeast Connecticut that operate magnet schools under a federally approved, voluntary desegregation plan, the Times also reports.

Father God:
Thank You for this article. Grateful to know that You’re Good. You’re Love. You’re Just.
Thank You for appointing Betsy DeVos. Bless her with discernment and wisdom. Please also open the eyes of the Connecticut School Districts officials to see what they did is wrong. Father-God, please also open the eyes of these boys who identify themselves as girls. Please let them see who they’re as You created them to be, boys.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Father God – we ask for Your favor to overflow continually on Betsy Devo’s. Continue to give her wisdom and strength as she upholds what is both common sense and right.
We ask for a huge shift in our nation…one that would cause parents to become more active in their schools from local to state level decisions. Help parents from every age group and belief system to stand FIRMLY against the deception of allowing transgenderism to receive favor.
Forgive us for our complacency in allowing this to ever take root Lord.
Strengthen us for battle Lord. In Jesus name we pray amen.
Amen. Thank you Jesus.
